several important nerve pathways run relatively close to the surface under the skin of a horse's head? Pressure that is poorly distributed, especially on the bridge of the nose and the poll, can therefore quickly become uncomfortable. An anatomical shape and soft padding are therefore not just comfort details in a halter, but also help to specifically relieve pressure on sensitive areas.

How should the halter fit correctly?

The noseband should rest on the sturdy part of the nasal bone below the cheekbone and should not be fastened too low. The halter should sit snugly without being constricting or so loose that it slips excessively.

Why is padding on the bridge of the nose and the poll useful?

The halter rests directly against these parts of the horse’s head and can be subjected to strain when leading or tying. The soft padding distributes the resulting pressure over a larger surface area while simultaneously reducing friction on the coat.

Is a leather halter suitable for horse transport?

Yes. A correctly fitted leather halter is well-suited for transport. For particularly sensitive horses or longer journeys, our SUNRIDE fleece halter Dover can be a comfortable alternative, as the soft fleece padding further reduces pressure and friction in sensitive areas.

Why is the correct adjustment more important than fastening it as loosely as possible?

A halter that is too tight can cause pressure and friction. If it is significantly too loose, however, it can slip, making it easier for the horse to catch a hoof or an object in it. A halter should therefore be adjusted so that it is neither too tight nor too loose.

Why should a leather halter be regularly cared for?

Sweat, moisture, and dirt can dry out and stress leather over time. Regular cleaning and appropriate leather care help to keep the material supple. At the same time, this allows you to check seams, buckles, and other highly stressed areas.

What should be kept in mind regarding the included lead rope?

The matching lead rope makes the set ready for immediate use for leading, tying, or loading. Excess rope should never be wrapped around the hand or fingers, as it can tighten if the horse suddenly pulls away.

• Use only as intended as a leading and restraining device for horses.
• Check for material fatigue, cracks, loose seams, damaged straps, or defective hardware before each use.
• Do not continue to use the halter if it is damaged or shows signs of significant wear.
• Do not use unsupervised in the stable or pasture – risk of strangulation.
• Check the fit regularly to avoid pressure points or chafing.
• Do not fasten too tightly – ensure sufficient freedom of movement in the poll and nose area.
• Replace defective metal parts (e.g., snap hooks, buckles, rings) immediately.
• Do not perform unauthorized repairs or modifications.
• Do not store near open flames, heat sources, or chemical substances.
• If heavily soiled or damp, clean and allow to dry completely before reusing the halter.
• Clean only with suitable cleaning agents; do not use bleach or solvents.
